WEST GOSHEN – Each year, District I is where the Annual Valor Bowl is held. This game is more than an All-star football game. Each year, the Valor Bowl raises money for Special Olympics. Over the past 12 years this organization has raised over $300,000 dollars for the Special Olympics.
In the first half the West All-Stars jumped out to a 6-0 lead when Trey Lauletta hit Louis Smith of Downingtown West for a 56-yard touchdown pass. Andrew Fithian of West Chester Henderson’s one-yard touchdown run put the East All-Stars up 7-6 at halftime.
The second half went back in fourth and right down to the wire. Hausladen’s 32-yard touchdown pass to Blair Brooks of Conestoga put the East All-Stars up 14-6 in the third quarter.
The West All-Stars tied the game up at 14 when Lauletta hit Smith for a four-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. This was the second time they hooked up.
The East All-Stars found the big play in the fourth quarter. Hausladen hit Bridge for a 70-yard play and Eppleman’s kick put them up 21-14. With 40 seconds to go the West All-Stars got the ball back. East’s David Hausladen of Great Valley couldn’t control the snap and Ted Smith of Oxford recovered the fumble.
On the next play QB Trey Lauletta of Downingtown East went in for an 11-yard touchdown run pulling the West All-Stars within one.
The big question was whether they go for the tie or the two-point conversion for the win.
The West All-Stars went for the game winning two-point conversion, but Lauletta’s pass was deflected and the East All-Stars survived with a 21-20 win in the 13th Annual Valor Bowl.
David Hausladen was named the East’s offensive MVP and Anthony D’Ambrosio was named the East’s defensive MVP.
Trey Lauletta was named the West’s offensive MVP and Brandon Robles was named the West’s defensive MVP.
